Abstract: A method and related agent for detecting novel post-translational modification. This novel post-translational modification is in the form of crotonylation of lysine residues in proteins. The method includes the steps of (a) preparing a mixture of polypeptides from a protein sample; (b) separating the polypeptides by molecular weight; (c) contacting the separated polypeptides with a binding affinity reagent which binds specifically to a polypeptide containing a crotonyllysine residue; and (d) detecting presence of a binding complex between the affinity reagent and one or more of the polypeptides. An example of the binding agent is an antibody, which may be prepared from animal serums, or is a monoclonal antibody or single-chain variable fragment.
